Lord of mer­cy and of might,
Of man­kind the life and light,
Maker, teac­her, in­fi­nite;
Jesus, hear and save!

Who, when sin’s tre­men­dous doom
Gave cre­ation to the tomb,
Didst not scorn the vir­gin’s womb,
Jesus, hear and save!

Strong Cre­at­or, Sav­ior mild,
Humbled to a mor­tal child,
Captive, beat­en, bound, re­viled;
Jesus, hear and save!

Throned above ce­les­ti­al things,
Borne aloft on an­gels’ wings,
Lord of lords and King of kings;
Jesus, hear and save!

Who shalt yet re­turn from high,
Robed in might and ma­jes­ty,
Hear us! Help us when we cry!
Jesus, hear and save!

Soon to come to earth again,
Judge of an­gels and of men,
Hear us now, and hear us then;
Jesus, hear and save!
